"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
18 August 2007Oy, it's so humidThere's been enough stormage today to keep the temperature at an un-August-like seventy-five, so when I got back from an impromptu shopping trip this evening and noticed that traces of dinner lingered in the kitchen atmosphere — mostly not-so-great BBQ sauce — I popped open a bunch of windows and cranked up the attic fan. Not such a brilliant idea. The indoor temperature didn't budge, but all the moisture from outside (well, a lot of it) got sucked into the house: in ten minutes the relative humidity, according to my cute little wall-mounted readout device, had risen from a modest 50 percent to nearly 80. I shut the windows and restarted the A/C. There are some things up with which I will not put. Posted at 9:09 PM to SurlywoodGotta love those Gulf tropical depressions. I was outside on my back porch the other night, yakking on the phone (since I can't get ANY cell coverage inside my house in this hellhole town) and suddenly the wind picked up and the rains came, and I knew that whoever it was that had been spinning around in the Gulf had finally arrived in North Texas.

It will probably snow the first day of school! Posted by: Kay Dennison at 2:27 AM on 19 August 2007 |
